Christmas tree tradition continues

Boy Scout troop 100 is getting ready for their annual fundraiser, selling Christmas trees at the St. Alphonsus Catholic church parking lot. It’s been a tradition in Ballard for more than 50 years and current Scoutmaster, Paul Hendricks, says that families have been buying trees from the scouts for years. The scouts themselves do a lot of work to make the fundraiser a success. They set up the lot, haul and tag the trees and work alongside the adults throughout the season. This is the sole fundraiser for the troop. The tree lot will be open the day after Thanksgiving through December 24th, or until the trees sell out.
